So, there’s supposed to be an official “announcement” tonight about Marc’s new show and podcasting and stuff (exactly when and how, I don’t know). I wonder if Marc’s mailing list subscribers will get the news first? I hope so, and I hope it comes early, ‘cuz I have a class tonight, and it’ll be a lot easier to sit through if I know what’s going on. It would be even better if Morning Seditionists got an exclusive pre-release, but I know that’s not gonna happen. I just hope it isn’t a disappointment (c’mon, one hour just isn’t enough; give us at least two).

Well, what excitement do the Sunday talking head shows have in store for us today?

Press the Meat w/ Timmy Potatohead has Barack Obama on to talk about his visit to Iraq and the Democrats’ lobbying reforms that don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of passing the Republican-corrupted Congress. And then, Mary Matalin has a threesome with her husband and his pal Paul Begala. :yawn:

Over at CBS’s Faze the Nation, Bob “Claudia” Schieffer has Pat Roberts (always a thrill) and fellow Republican Joe Lieberman on to talk about the vewy, vewy, scawy Osama bin Hidin’ tape, :omg: and probably to engage in serious debate over the job that dubya’s doing on the War on Terra. (Pat: “I think dubya’s grrrrrrrreat!!!” Joe: “I disagree, Pat. I think he’s faaaaaabulous”). :yuck:

This Week w/ George Snufalufagus has John Kerry (will he exhibit some spine now that he’s a Daily Kos blogger, or go back to being the guy that couldn’t kick the crap – electorally speaking, of course – out of the worst president in history?). There’s also that wacky gang of regulars they like to call the Roundtable: Cokie :barf: Roberts, Sam :doh: Donaldson and George :jerk: Will. As an added attraction, Gary Sinise will be on to talk about work with the USO & his charity Operation Iraqi Children, and maybe tell us how you can take a low resolution video surveillance camera screen capture, and blow the reflection off an eyeball of somebody in the picture, to get an eight-by-ten color glossy photo (with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back) that clearly shows who that person was talking to. What? No CSI: NY fans out there?

Weaselface Chris Wallace and Fox News (Someday) will talk about scary bin Laden, and then ridicule the Democrats’ lobbying reform plans (while no doubt insisting that Democrats are up to their ears in Abramoff money, too, damnit).

And, of course, CNN will do whatever the fuck it is that CNN does these days.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Ah, Saturday. Lots of things that need to get done, but very little motivation to do them. Plus, if I don’t take the dog out for a nice run on the canal, he’ll pout all weekend long.

Well, here we are, another week down. Four weekends to get through before the Marc Maron Show. I wonder when we’ll find out what time it’s on, and how long it’ll be?

Man, yesterday was a long one, and I’m supposed to read an entire textbook by next week (plus a couple of other chapters, and I still have two more classes to go). Damn, what was I thinking? I tried to stay up for Marc on Conan last night, but I don’t think I made it. Good thing I had the ReplayTV set.

Is it February 13th yet?

For those who didn’t get the e-mail:

Sheeple-

I don’t have much time but I just wanted to drop you all a dispatch. I will be on Conan O’Brien tonight, the 18th. (I just found out yesterday so I’m not holding out on you.) They flew me to NYC this morning.

“The Marc Maron Show” will launch from Los Angeles on the 13th of February. I’ll let you know how you can get it as we get closer to the date. My CD should be out in a matter of days. The cats are starting to like each other and my wife and I are getting along.

I hope you are all well.

Maron

Well, vacation’s over. Wednesdays are going to be busy for me, with a class in the morning, and another in the evening. Good thing I don’t have another one until Monday. Worse, my laptop is kaput and I won’t be able to check in on the news – or the blog – until I get back home again.

So, is it too early to start planning for the 1st annual Morning Seditionists summer meetup?

Back to work for many of us today. For me, last day of vacation before my classes start up again tomorrow. I even have to get up early. :blech:

OK, this is your last reminder. Marc’s on Comedy Central at 11 AM EST.

So, what are you doing to celebrate? We’re going to the Martin Luther King Day Anti-War Gathering at Clinton (neither Bill nor Hillary) Square in Syracuse. God, I hope it isn’t too damn cold. I think the best we managed yesterday was 12 degrees (and a nasty wind, too).

Just a reminder, Marc Maron will be on Comedy Central tomorrow at 11 AM EST.

Well, y’all did such a good job blogging yesterday, it looks like we need a new thread for today. Happy birthday to my Dad, and to Martin Luther King Jr. The world would be a much better place if they were both still around.
